NOBODY that I am aware of....NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON is advocating or has ever advocates in this forum or for that part anywhere I have ever even heard of....TEACHING ANY RELIGION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
That is what is not allowed by our constitution...the teaching of or advocating as a country a single religion AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN.
If the mention of the word GOD, as Tom was very clear about was the reason for the book being banned is reason enough to ban the book, then we need to really scan the libraries for any book that mentions ANY RELIGION IN ANY WAY
Those books that mention Martin Luther, Allah, etc...have go to go.
I really feel those that are in opposition here, KNOW IN THEIR HEART that no religion is being taught. The only person offended by the mention of or the use of the word GOD would be an atheist, and that person should also have a lot of things that offend him...the word PRAYER....any Thanksgiving toast !!!
I have grown tired of the "make them feel guilty".. rhetoric.
I believe in God....I am proud of it....I, like just about everyone does not want a religion taught in public schools, but I do not like people who jump on something like this just to make everyone uncomfortable or guilty.
My biggest problem on this thread was that Tom was very clear....the name in the title was the REASON for it being banned, but people had to jump on their soap boxes and go for the guilt trip thing. NOBODY even asked a question about the book and just continued to lecture us, who I assume are put into a catagory of those who just do not get it.
My guilt is used up I am afraid. You cannot make me feel guilty any longer.
